Christians are, of course, hardly a minority in this country. Depending on the stats you choose, 75-80% of Americans identify as Christian. So for Christians to speak of themselves as a "minority" is disingenuous at best, and more likely a tribalist circle-the-wagons call-to-arms us-vs-them pity-the-poor-martyrs game.
Unless, of course, Scott's talking about Registered and Authorized True Christians(TM), the ones who hate gays, contraception, women, liberals, Muslims, furriners, taxes, secularists, atheists, poor people, church/state separation, judges, Mormons, Obama, illegals, and anyone who does't kowtow to their particular brand of selective Biblical literalism and dominionist ideals. In which case, yeah, they are a minority (though a very vocal one), and thank God for that. #ddtb
